Officer had gone just after 9:20 p.m. to the 700 block of Ferry Avenue. There, an armed man wearing all black, including a black hooded sweatshirt, had reportedly been seen running through the Antioch Baptist Church parking lot.

Detectives Shawn Donlon and Randy Smith spotted Kellum, who they said matched the description, on Masters Street next to the church property. Kellum seemed very nervous when they approached, the detectives reported.

That’s when they allegedly found the revolver. Kellum was charged with possession of a weapon and certain persons not to have a weapon.

The latter charge stemmed from a previous drug distribution conviction. Kellum was committed to Camden County Jail in default of $200,00 bail or 10 percent of that.

“Thanks to the quick action taken by our officers, this dangerous individual is in custody and the weapon he was carrying is off the streets,” said Camden County Police Chief J. Scott Thomson.
